In the late 1700s Thomas Sergison of Cuckfield Park, having already acquired the crumbling Slaugham Place, transferred the main staircase of the mansion to the Star Inn at Lewes. Formerly a priory until the dissolution, the Star Inn was sold to the council in 1890 for about £5000 and was converted to be the Town Hall in 1893.

Yes, it is definitely there at the Old County Hall which is now a very nice swanky hotel in Lewes. I used to walk up the staircase to my Homeopathic College which used to rent rooms there. It is so beautiful, particularly when the venue is used for weddings and the staff decorate the staircase.

Have a look at Temple Newsam House, oak staircase. The house is Tudor in origin, but in an attempt to evoke the past, it had some Victorian interiors inserted based on original details elsewhere - including this staircase, with plaster work based on Hatfield House,Result? Stunning!
